Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a DX telephoto zoom for Nikon F-mount DSLRs. It gives APS-C users a very useful 82.5-450mm equivalent reach, making it a flexible option for travel, wildlife at a distance and field sports without the cost or bulk of longer pro lenses. The AF-S silent wave motor provides autofocus on compatible Nikon bodies, while VR stabilisation helps steady shots at the long end and makes hand-held use more practical. Build is typical of Nikon’s consumer telezoom line: largely plastic, reasonably light for the range, and not weather sealed. Image quality is generally respectable for the class, with the strongest results often seen when stopped down a little; like many long-range budget zooms, performance can be softer at 300mm and the maximum aperture is modest. It pairs best with DX bodies where the crop factor extends its reach. When buying used, check the zoom action for smoothness and creep, test autofocus and VR operation, and inspect both elements for haze, fungus, scratches or excessive dust, along with wear on the mount and barrel.
